MEMO-031112-A – “SILENCE”

More than 3700 people gathered for a moment of silence on Facebook today to commemorate the 11 year anniversary of the Higashi Nippon Tsunami and Earthquake of March 11th 2011.

The event started 2:46pm where participants where ever they are would stop for 11 minutes of Silence to remember the earthquake victims.  Facebook gathered about 3700 people RSVP’d to participate in this event at the moment it started. A amazingly people were still joining the event after it was over to show their support along with posting their thoughts on the event page wall.

The event page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/135847496538265/

“…This was a momentous occasion. I cannot thank you enough for participating in this moment of Silence.
Thank you so much. Nothing to can replace this feeling I have for Japan and the motivation I have to move forward and continue our support in Tohoku. I especially thank the people who are up to their knees in mud and trash everyday during the clean up operations in the north. You guys are the best! ”

Arrived to Kesennuma just after 17:00 JST 2/16/2012

We were guided to the temporary housing community in middle of the urban district of Kesennuma, (Makinohara) and another temporary housing community (Akaiwa Makinohara), a temporary housing community where 36 of 56 family units are the solitary elderlies, but is isolated from urban area and public transportation.

In Akaiwa Makinohara half of the water pipes are frozen and they cannot use water, and the floor is very cold so Futon is not enough to bear the cold. Sometimes condensation occurs and Futon gets moldy. So this time we bought 20 mattresses for them.

The area of the room for 1 family in the community is about 6.5 square meters. Non-emergency items needed at the present are sewing machines, washing machines and air purifiers.

They said Kesennuma city government does follow-up measures providing space heaters etc. Also providing housing where needed. However everything from the city is leased not issued or donated. They can keep leased items (in their narrow rooms) until the lease period is over. Most cities give supplies away to their citizens, but not in Kesennuma. We are not sure as to why at the moment.

We talked to 4 local volunteers in Kesennuma, who shared their experiences from 3/11/2012 and they were almost crying while speaking to us.

Rescue Japan and GPOP relief organizations plan to do provide future Aid support and events for this community.

Earth Day Market

Rescue Japan is supporting the Earth Day Market program spearheaded by Fukutobiren who sells products made in Fukushima to Tokyo residents and sends the profits back to merchants in Fukushima. This program is designed to stimulate the economy in Fukushima.

We were contacted by a member of the Fukutobiren group asking for storage space to store excess goods left over from the Earth Day Market program. We are now helping to secure the good for them at our Kachidoki facility which was given to Rescue japan in April of 2011 by the Quraz company to assist in the storage of AID Supplies for our Tohoku Relief program.  We are proud to help the merchants of Fukushima.

UPDATE-122411-A

Rescue Japan joined GPOP to host a Christmas Party in Iwaki for the victims of the Onahama and Yotsukura area. They traveled from their temporary housing units to the Fujima Junior High School.

A little over 650 people came out to enjoy a Christmas celebration on December 24th, where GPOP and Rescue Japan arranged to have food, gifts, kids drawing boards, a 4 meter Christmas Tree, tons of chicken donated by Family Mart, tons of supplies like diapers, hand soaps, sanitary gels, kids clothing, toothbrushes, and shavers and finally a splashing performance by Japanese artist Sunplaza Nakano Jun.

It is days like this one that make Rescue Japan very proud to be apart of a relief program that puts smiles on the faces of earthquake victims. It is a unique relief program that doesn’t just give away Aid supplies, but ensures an atmosphere of uplifting spirits and energy to help people cope with the reality of their changing world.

Letter from one of the volunteers in Ishinomaki, Mike Connolly:
"...Mr. Fujita's doing awesome work. He's really been a role model. Last week, we helped dig out a lot,

where he was going to install a bath unit - for Volunteers!! As well as local residents.

I encountered a man who was living among tsunami mud, and Fujita stepped in to take charge of the case

right away.  The RJ donations are definitely finding good homes thanks to him. "    - Mike Connolly

石巻でのボランティア参加者１名からの手紙

Mike Connolly「フジタさんは大変すばらしい活動をしています。彼は私たちのロールモデルであった。

先週、私たちは彼が地元の人々やボランティア参加者のための浴槽を設置するための場所を準備するために

穴掘りの手伝いをしました。私は津波の泥のあいだで生活をしていた１人の男性に出会いました。

そしてフジタさんはこのことを知るとすぐに事態の解決を引き受けました。

レスキュー・ジャパンの寄付は彼のおかげで正しい使い道へとたどり着いているといえるでしょう。」

Global Mission: A support center located not far from the Iwaki city government center also has a local relief program where we have delivered diapers (P&G), hand sanitizers, hand soaps and toohbrushes (Hills Colgate) for distribution.

グローバル・ミッション：いわき市の市役所から近くのサポートセンターは、地元の救済プログラムを行っています。私たちは、そこからオムツ（Ｐ＆Ｇ）、手の消毒液、石鹸や歯ブラシ（Hills Colgate）を援助品として配布しました。

Iwaki Yumoto Second City Middle School: The principal Sawai-san asked us to leave men’s and women’s underwear there for local distribution.  Sawi-san took us to the housing complex about 30 minutes drive from his school where we saw 700 houses in one area.  There are families from 2 to 5 people in each house.  We delivered 20 cases of water that was donated from Quraz.

いわき市立湯本第二中学校：校長のサワイさんは地元での配布のために男性用と女性用の下着を置いていくように頼みました。サワイさんは学校から車で２０分の７００件ほどの家が建つ集合住宅の地区へと私たちを連れて行きました。一軒あたり２－５人の人々が住んでいました。私たちはQurazから寄付された２０ケース分の水を届けました。
